First Photo: Courteney Cox as Gale Weathers in Scream 4

Entertainment Weekly has the first official photo from the long awaited sequel Scream 4. It features Courteney Cox as news anchor turned author turned attempted murder survivor Gale Weathers. The film has literally been a decade in the making and will reunite Cox with David Arquette (Dewey) and Neve Campbell, the series heroine Sidney Prescott. Check out what the actress had to say about the film…

According to the site,

When Scream 4 opens April 15, 10 years have passed. Cox’s character, Gale Weathers, is now married to Dewey (Cox’s real-life husband, David Arquette). ”I kind of gave up my job as the entertainment journalist,” says Cox. ”I’m bored with my life and my marriage.” Bringing a little excitement to town is Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell). Her return leads to more Ghostface murders, which reenergize Gale. Says Cox, ”Things start happening, and I couldn’t be more thrilled.”

In a nutshell, Gale is still a self-centered bitch who has no problem getting you killed as long as she gets something out of it. From the looks of this photo, her antics may have finally caught up with her. We have a theory that the 3 original castmembers are merely in this movie to help introduce the new bloods, which will include Emma Roberts as Sidney’s cousin Jill. We think the Woodsboro Trinity’s luck may have finally run out.
